  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, heat and mass transportation flow of swimming gyrotactic microorganisms (microbes) and solid nanoparticles under the viscous dissipation effect is investigated. The flow model PDEs are renovated with ordinary ones using suitable boundary layer approximations. The system governing the flow model dimensionless equations as well as boundary conditions is numerically treated with the SOR (successive over relaxation) technique. The flow, heat, and mass transport characteristics are examined against the prime parameters. A comparison is examined to be in a good agreement with the earlier results. It is found here that flow and thermal characteristics of the problem are substantially affected by the porous medium. The outcomes evidently point out that porous medium causes an enhancement in the skin friction and density of the motile microbes. Further, the rate of heat transport is devaluated at the surface of sheet due to viscous dissipation and elevated due to suction. © 2022 Sohail Ahmad et al
